Hyperspectral Cube

Definition

Spatial data with a spectral dimension defined by the instrument and measurement mode. A hyperspectral dataset links spatial positions with spectral measurements. Wavelength range, illumination, detector response and measurement mode define its information.

Context
Spectral imaging

For example, two spatial regions can have different recorded spectra without that difference alone establishing which substance each contains.

A spectral difference does not automatically identify a substance or source. Calibration, sampling and a validated interpretive method are needed.
